Our story

Maryland families deserve care that feels personal.

We named ourselves after Maryland's own diamondback terrapin: steady, resilient, and right at home here. That's the spirit we bring to every family we serve.

Why we exist

Every child deserves to be understood.

Terrapin ABA was created around one belief: that every child deserves to be understood.

We know finding autism services can feel overwhelming. Families deserve a team that listens, supports, and builds care around their child, not around a template.

What guides us

Our values, in practice.

Compassion first

We treat every child and family with patience, dignity, and respect.

Science with heart

Our care is evidence-based while always focusing on the whole child.

Families as partners

Parents are essential members of the team.

Individualized care

Every child is different, and every program should be too.

Rooted in Maryland

We are proud to serve Maryland families with accessible, high-quality ABA therapy.

Built to end

Good therapy works itself out of a job. Every plan includes clear goals for stepping down support.
